SMALL STRETCH, BIG PROBLEM

The puller of an overloaded rickshaw van trying to get his vehicle across a stretch of Bir Uttam Rafiqul Islam Avenue near Hatirjheel yesterday. This particular 100-metre stretch is plagued by development work – installation of storm-water drainage pipes and repaving of sidewalks. Yesterday's rain only added to the sufferings. Tailbacks were long and people were seen wading across stagnant water. Photo: Anisur Rahman

ROAD OR DUMPSITE?

Initially, broken metal road dividers were dumped on a corner of this road in the capital's Fakirapool area. Afterwards, damaged trash bins were added to the mix. Soon, locals apparently inspired by the act started throwing waste there. As the corner was eventually blocked to traffic due to the garbage, utilising the opportunity, rickshaw-van pullers also started parking their vehicles alongside. The photo was taken in front of Wasa office yesterday. Photo: Anisur Rahman
